God Eater 

(ゴッドイーター, Goddo Ītā) is a series of sci-fi action role-playing video


games developed by Shift and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, starting with the titular
game released on February 4, 2010 for the PlayStation Portable.[1] The series depicts the
desperate battle between humanity and a race of omnivorous monsters in a futuristic post-
apocalyptic world. As of February 2019, the franchise has six games (including three revamped
games), several manga and light novel adaptations, soundtracks, and an anime adaptation.

The gameplay consists of players embarking on various missions to hunt specific monsters. The
primary goal of the game is to complete missions by successfully taking out powerful monsters,
retrieving their parts through "devouring", breaking a certain body part of an Aragami or receiving
them as rewards, and using them as materials to craft or upgrade parts for the God Arc.
Additionally, players may also gather minerals, medical kits, and various materials to improve
their weapons. Players can freely switch between three forms: "Blade Form" for close combat,
"Gun Form" for long-range shooting, and "Shield Form" for protection against attacks during
"Blade Form".
One notable feature of the franchise is the ability to "eat" the enemy Aragami during combat with
the God Arc's "Predator Form". Successfully doing so will enter a state called "Burst Mode",
granting players increased speed, attack power, and special access to a limited set of "Aragami
Bullets", which can be used against the Aragami. Another notable feature is the Bullet Editor,
which allow players to customize their own unique bullets. These bullets can also be used by the
player during missions.
Players are able to customize the equipment in their God Arc, such as its "Blades", "Shield",
"Gun", and "Control Unit". "Control Units" are mods that can be equipped to the God Arc, giving
status buffs upon entering "Burst Mode".

The God Eater franchise takes place in the year 2071, several years after the emergence of
the Aragami (アラガミ, Aragami). The Aragami are race of vicious creatures made of a cluster of
"Oracle Cells", single-celled organisms that can consume anything and take on its attributes, that
devours most of the Earth's resources and much of humanity to the point of near-extinction.
Coming in different forms, they are invincible against any conventional weaponry, even capable
of absorbing large quantities of nuclear energy into their own, until a Finnish pharmaceutical
company known as Fenrir (フェンリル, Fenrir) created a series of biomechanical hybrid
weapons called Jinki (神機, Jinki, known as "God Arc" in the English release) that can kill the
Aragami, as well as selecting those who can wield such weapons. These individuals are then
called God Eater (ゴッドイーター, Goddo Ītā). Various branches of Fenrir also have a sanctuary
called the "Outer Ghetto", in which the rich, as well as those who yet to qualify as a God Eater
and their families, resides, but due to overpopulation, the company limits the capacity of those
who lives inside the Ghetto.
